Product Details

If you are about to (or already have) eliminated the restrictive stock BMW ASC+T traction control system, you'll want to upgrade to this Samco silicone intake boot. Lose the factory "accordian" desgin boot, which creates lots of intake turbulence (read: lost power!). The Samco intake elbow has a perfectly smooth interior finish, with no sharp angles or other obstacles for intake air to get slowed by. It's made using 4 layers of high quality silicone, designed to last for many years in even the most extreme conditions.

Installing this boot assumes your car either does not have traction control (ASC), or you will be removing it from your car. (You'll also need to install a 10ohm / 1watt resistor accross the ASC actuator wiring, to simulate the presence of the ASC modules, and avoid causing ABS faults). Removing ASC is a great way to decrease intake restriction, and this intake boot is perfect for this upgrade. We offer an intake boot plug if you are deleting ACS.

This intake boot works very well with all cold air intake kits, including the Conforti cold air kit (with standard 3.0" HFM) and AFE intake kits. Have you already upgraded to the 3.5" Euro/540i HFM? No problem! We have a Samco intake bellows for that application as well (see part# SAMCO-BFHOSE1-BLK).
